Our Christmas poster on traditions has been so popular that we decided it needed an update. We have now divided the topic into two posters. The first poster focuses on traditions like the origins of the Christmas tree and Santa Claus. The second poster focuses on the origins of traditional Christmas foods. We have also produced these posters to our standard specifications. That includes supplying them in seven sizes to match American and International paper sizes. Also changed is the font size. The font used on these posters should be legible if printed in smaller sizes of A4 or 8.5x11 inches. That means they can be given as handouts to students. You can also supply these as digital files for student devices. Just save the A4 file as a PDF. POSTERS INCLUDED The Surprising History of Christmas Traditions The Surprising History of Christmas Food SIZES INCLUDED American paper sizes 8.5 x 11 " 11 x 14" 16 x 20 " 18 x 24 " International Paper Sizes (ISO) A4 A3 A2 Note. If you want a larger poster, you can double the size from A2 to A1 when printing the poster. Your print quality should remain clear. FILE TYPE These files are 300 dpi jpeg files.
